I grew up on the M3 and dont see any issues with that shotgun. Now today I personally own and prefer and M4. Just my 2 cents.What would you be using your M3 for?
Just look at gunbroker and gunsamerica. prices for not only M4 but collapsable stocks and mag tubes just keep rising as well. **** my range didnt even have any federal 00 buck.
Where in Arizona are you located? Are you looking for a new or used one? Try Scottsdale Gun Club. Gotta love their awesome customer service.Cabelas is where I would check as they were running a $100 Cabela bucks w M4 Purchase. Good luck to you.
Benelli m3 is what I grew up on. Great guns but I still bought an M4. They are def. available just rare and most likely a special order or gunbroker.com deal.
Shot about 250 rounds through mine the 1st week and seems to function flawless. I put a bunch of Federal slugs, 00 buck, 000 buck, and some diamond turkey shot 3 inch magnums. I love my M4!
